The Russian Roulette

Every month, I encounter new recordings that touch my soul and lift me up. Every month, I select these recordings for my Russian Roulette show to share with the people. Compiling the July mix was a challenge—there were too many great releases of entirely different kinds to fit into one hour. So here it is: as always, some superb jazz, soul, funk, afro-beat, and more for your listening pleasure.

For the November episode of the Russian Roulette show, Alex iM!X presents a special late-autumn urban meditation mix, perfect for a time of winding down and reflective stillness. The guiding idea was to create a mix that evokes closeness, introspection, and emotional resonance. Put on your headphones and go on the journey, where every track is intentional, and every sound carries personal meaning.

Russian Roulette with Vlad Mikeev (Radio Tiger) - 21st February 2024

I enjoyed the creative freedom of putting together this mixtape to accompany my morning walks during the Indian summer when the heat is still here but the hoards of tourists have disappeared already from the streets of Batumi, and the rainy offseason is just around the corner. As always, expect the unexpected: some non-trivial jazz, bossa nova, afrobeat, Balearic sounds, soul, and electronica—all in just the right measure. So, put on your headphones and join me on an inner journey through outer space.

Hello everyone, this is Alex iM!X, and welcome to the May edition of my monthly show on Bangkok Community Radio. This one is special—recorded for my 47th birthday as a musical gift to all my friends around the world.

Music has shaped my life, connecting me to incredible people. My musical taste and record collection continue to evolve with me. In this show, I present what’s currently in my headphones—a blend of jazz, funk, soul, world, and everything in between. It's your invitation to a sun-kissed odyssey through balmy Mediterranean evenings, sundown sessions, and analog grooves. Get on a pleasure cruise filled with dreamy soulful jazz and funk goodness that will transport you somewhere tropical and idyllic.

"In August, Alex Imix welcomes another amazing guest to his Russian Roulette show — internationally acclaimed British producer and DJ Pete Herbert. The head honcho of the Music For Swimming Pools record label, Pete needs no introduction, having been a favorite among music lovers for decades. He has something special for you this time. Here's what he says about this mix: ""This is a selection of some of my favorite and most played reworks from the last decade or two, put together for the show. Some are straightforward edits, while others are more in the remix style, but all are made with the dancefloor in mind."" Ok folks, you know what to expect - top-notch Balearic-flavored disco and house slow-burners. Enjoy.

Alex Imix brought a trully special guest for the first episode of The Russian Roulette show in 2023 - deeply prolific Bristol-based house connoisseur Andy Compton. 

He has released over 45 albums and over 200 EPs (either under his own name or as part of his legendary group The Rurals, COMPTON or L.A.M.P, Blue Dream) on his essential Peng label and imprints like Motown, Universal, EMI, Sony, Ralf GUM’s GOGO Music, Chicago’s LARGE Music, Seasons, Viva, Hed Kandi and many others.

South Africa has embraced Andy's deep house sounds, and because of his popularity over there, and albums released via EMI, SONY, WEA, and now Universal. He has done over 20 South African tours in the past 10 years.
Since discovering house music in the early ‘90s Compton has released a dazzling array of music and worked with an army of artists. He’s been featured on the cover of the seminal DJ Magazine and had his music used in TV show Six Feet Under, while tunes like “Sweeter Sounds” have become bona fide anthems at spots like NY’s Shelter. He has worked with top class vocalists Celestine, Marie Tweek, Diviniti, Kafele, Rowan, Ladybird, Sabrina Chyld and many others!
Compton's Dj skills have turned heads and twisted bodies worldwide, with his thumping brew of electronic beats swathed in coolly-crafted melodies, with Peng becoming one of the premiere labels on the planet, garnering support from house big-hitters like Louie Vega, Larry Heard, Mark Farina and Osunlade (to name a few).

All this has solidified Compton’s reputation as one of the most respected house music players on the planet.

The Russian Roulette - 24th September 2023

Hailing from Belarus and now nestled in Batumi, Georgia, DJ Hilcher is taking a January guest slot of The Russian Roulette Show.

"This DJ set," Hilcher says, "is about not always trying to make people dance right away. It's a set where you listen first, then comes the feeling, and finally the body starts moving and you can dance like nobody is watching."
